Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FYW62A - . The entrance to Thomas Rigby's pub is set beneath a traditional dark-painted fascia carrying the pub name in red lettering. Lantern-style exterior lights frame the doorway, and people are visible near the entrance. The public house occupies premises on Dale Street in central Liverpool and is noted for its traditional bar atmosphere and beer selection. The image draws particular attention to the architectural treatment of the front elevation, including dark painted joinery, symmetrical lighting and a historic style of urban pub signage. The exterior of Thomas Rigby's is distinguished by an old-fashioned black shopfront with gold lettering spelling THOMAS RIGBY'S over the upper windows. Two hanging lanterns flank the doorway and a pair of people stand outside beneath the name. The premises display decorative stone features and a traditional pub entrance, giving the building a historic urban character. Thomas Rigby's is a long-established Liverpool pub associated with Dale Street's hospitality and commercial history. Its interior and exterior architecture connect the present-day trade in food and drink with earlier periods of city-centre business. Public houses remain significant places for informal meetings, meals, sports viewing and social events in British towns and cities. A traditional hanging lantern and elaborately detailed door surround can signal the historic character of premises even where the current business operates with modern staff, menus and payment systems. In this view the pub's signage is larger than any individual customer and is the defining feature. The window framing, painted timber, glowing lanterns and stonework help create an impression of an established institution. People standing near the entrance add a small human reference for scale. The composition is of a single identifiable Liverpool public house with architectural details and named branding, including the named facade and traditional entrance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11YJ - Richly decorated bar interior of Whitelock's Ale House, formerly the Turk's Head, hidden within Turk's Head Yard off Briggate in Leeds city centre. The photograph shows the historic serving counter with polished copper, brass fittings, traditional hand-pulled beer engines, glass shelving, mirrors, bottles and period pub memorabilia. Pump clips include Five Points XPA and Railway Porter from the independent Five Points Brewing Company in Hackney, London, alongside Theakston Old Peculier and Timothy Taylor Landlord.
Above the bar, a black and white scarf carries the words The Very Heart of Leeds , recalling the description associated with poet and architectural conservationist John Betjeman. The crowded arrangement of reflective metalwork, glassware, dark timber and brewery branding gives the room the distinctive visual character of a traditional British real ale pub. An ornate Champions Club Weekend Landlord emblem is also visible beside the bar equipment.
Whitelock's first opened as the Turk's Head in 1715 and is widely recognised as the oldest surviving public house in Leeds. John Lupton Whitelock became licensee in 1867, and the Whitelock family later purchased and extensively refurbished the premises. Much of the elaborate decorative scheme dates from the late nineteenth century, including the long marble and copper-topped counter, etched mirrors, timber fittings, stained glass and ceramic tiling.
The building was upgraded to Grade II* listed status in 2022 as an exceptionally well-preserved example of an upmarket Victorian luncheon bar. Its protected interior remains an important part of Leeds' architectural, brewing and social heritage. Located within a narrow historic yard beside Briggate, Whitelock's continues to serve cask-conditioned ales, craft beer and food in surroundings closely associated with generations of drinkers, writers, performers, journalists and visitors.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PK2AX3 - The tiny Liverpool city pub Ye Cracke that was loved by Beatle John Lennon, The Beatle was known to even take girls on dates to the pub
Liverpool has plenty of links to The Beatles from The Cavern Club to The Casbah Coffee Club.
But there are some places in the city that have connections to the famous Fab Four which are lesser-known.
One of those places is Ye Cracke, hidden down a side street off Hope Street, on Rice Street.
Landlady of Ye Cracke, Zaidia Naif, told the ECHO: It's funny because a lot of local Liverpool people can't find the pub but The Beatles fans from as far as Mexico find it with no problem.
Obviously the pub has a big tourist pull because of the Beatles and its connection to John Lennon.
I have known fans to come as far as Japan, Australia, Canada and a lot from America.
Ye Cracke may be a seemingly normal, local boozer to many but to tourists it's known for being John Lennon's favourite watering hole.
When attending art school in Liverpool, former bartenders claim Lennon would drink Black Velvet, a cocktail made from Guinness and on top of sparkling wine.
He also took his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, on their first date after meeting her at a college dance.
Even to this day, a plaque can be found on the wall of the pub, commemorating an occasion in 1960 when Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe, Bill Harry and Rod Murray attended the pub and formed a band called The Dissenters over a beer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5R2 - . Union Street in Stroud - Market Tavern and hills in countryside surrounding town centre, Gloucestershire, England,UK, GL5 2HE. Photographed on 3 August 2022. The recorded location is Union Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England,UK, GL5 2HE. The current Union Street was originally a continuation of Swan Lane (also called Back Lane at the time) to Capel's orchard. The wider historical story is that british pubs evolved from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, drinking houses, music venues and landmarks within town and village life
Their architecture, signs, interiors and changing names often preserve layers of local commercial and social history. Looking at the subject's development, retail premises reveal the evolution of high streets and town centres: independent shops, markets, bakeries, butchers and larger chains respond continually to changing tastes, rents, competition and shopping habits
Photographs can preserve businesses and shopfronts that later disappear. Looking at the subject's development, city-centre photography documents both designed space and informal use
Architecture, signage, traffic, public art and pedestrian movement together reveal how people experience a place, often providing a more useful record of urban change than landmark images alone. In the present 2026 context, in England the sector continues to be under pressure from operating costs and business rates, although eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief/27
That makes historic and contemporary pub photographs particularly relevant to coverage of hospitality, community assets and changing town centres. For the 2026 context, high streets continue to change rapidly as retailers respond to online competition, costs and changing footfall
Government support for community assets and town-centre renewal gives photographs of independent shops, markets and former businesses added.

The image documents Spring at the Thorn Inn, Greene King hostelry, at Grappenhall Lane, Appleton Thorn Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 4QX. The subject also carries associations with place identity, documentary photography, pub heritage, community drinking venue, changing streetscape, period detail, local character, traditional ale house, changing land use, hospitality economy, visitor hospitality, regional identity, social history, and contemporary social history. The modern context includes continuing discussion of beer duty, changing drinking habits and the survival of pubs as both businesses and informal community spaces. The archival value lies partly in recording period objects and surrounding context around Grappenhall Lane, Appleton Thorn Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 4QX before altered transport patterns alters the character of the place. The photograph additionally reflects local social venue, historic hostelry, night-time economy, cask-beer tradition, before-and-after reference, licensed trade, everyday life, and visual archive. Details involving Greene, Village, Spring, Grappenhall, and Appleton make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. A later view of Grappenhall Lane, Appleton Thorn Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 4QX may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The wider significance includes beer duty and the survival of pubs as both businesses and informal community spaces when considered against later change at Grappenhall Lane, Appleton Thorn Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 4QX.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RPCFM3 - . The Three Pigeons 18th century pub, 169 High St, Guildford, Surrey, England, UK, GU1 3AJ. Photographed on 18 June 2023. The Three Pigeons is a traditional English Pub situated on the top of Guildford's High street, just in front of the Holy Trinity church. Guildford is an historic and tourist town, offering a large number of shopping outlets and the Three Pigeons sits right in the middle of it. The Three Pigeons has stood here since the middle of the 18th century - a fire badly damaged it in 1916, fortunately it was rebuilt two years later. The design of the new frontage was inspired by a late 17th century house on Oxford's high Street and like many buildings on Guildford's ancient high street, it is reputed to be haunted. Within the history of historic pub, beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially significant to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. In relation to graphic communication, historical context shows that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-past evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions. Against the 2026 backdrop for historic pub, pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade
Historic and contemporary pub images therefore have relevance to community assets, nightlife, independent brewing, high-street change and hospitality economics. As of 2026, the position for graphic communication is that digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJAF8P - Taken on 19 Aug 2023, this photograph shows Temple Court, Cavern Quarter, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L2 6PY. The location is Temple Court, Cavern Quarter, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L2 6PY. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains crowds, bar signs, brickwork, hanging street signs and the compact entertainment-street atmosphere of Liverpool's Cavern Quarter. Mathew Street and the Cavern Quarter are inseparable from Beatles tourism, live music heritage, pub culture and Liverpool's visitor economy, with the narrow streets often busy on summer days. It could support features on pubs, beer, leisure, nightlife, tourism, heritage streets, local economies, independent hospitality and the pressures facing town-centre venues. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include Liverpool, city, tourism, attraction, Mathew St, Cavern Quarter, cavern, Temple Court, Temple Ct, sign, centre, Merseyside, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. It has value for both local and national stories, especially where writers need to connect a named place or object with wider economic, social, environmental or cultural change. Further SEO-friendly usage could include local services, town-centre change, heritage branding, Britis.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RHH6HB - . St Elphin's parish Church & Ring of Bells pub, evening sunset, Church Street, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA1 2TL. Photographed on 15 August 2023. Among parish churches, it is the third tallest in England. But nothing survives above ground of the original building (a Saxon wooden church), and only the chancel and crypt remain from its successor, the first stone building, which was built in 1354. Shelled and badly damaged by the Parliamentary forces in the Civil War of the 17th century, the tower of that church had to be rebuilt in 1696, and the nave was rebuilt in l770. The south aisle was added in the early 19th century, and the whole building was restored between 1859 and 1867, when the present distinctive spire was added. Inside, galleries in the aisles contain pews with doors, and some of the stained glass is by AWN Pugin. The background to architectural conservation is that parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, later chapels, organs, altars, monuments and inscriptions can coexist within a single building, revealing generations of craftsmanship and changing liturgy. Within the history of town centre, place-based photography helps document the relationship between named locations and the people or businesses associated with them, especially where formal architectural records are limited. In relation to licensed premises, historical context shows that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. Current 2026 context around architectural conservation is that many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for.

During the general election of 1784, House provided free drink to the public.
More recently, it was a goth pub which also hosted heavy metal gigs. It closed in 2006, when the owner Mitchells & Butlers sold the building to property developers.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDJ52P - Pickled eggs are typically hard boiled eggs that are cured in vinegar or brine. As with many foods, this was originally a way to preserve the food so that it could be eaten months later. Pickled eggs have since become a favorite among many as a snack or hors d'Å“uvre popular in pubs, bars and taverns, and around the world in places where beer is served.
After the eggs are hard boiled, the shell is removed and they are submerged in a solution of vinegar, salt, spices, and other seasonings. Recipes vary from the traditional brine solution for pickles, to other solutions, which can impart a sweet or spicy taste.
The final taste is largely determined by the pickling solution. The eggs are left in this solution from one day to several months. Prolonged exposure to the pickling solution may result in a rubbery texture. A common practice is to puncture the egg with a toothpick to allow the pickling solution to penetrate to the egg's interior, but this is dangerous as it can introduce clostridium into the finished product.[1] Eggs prepared with this method have sometimes had high enough levels of botulinum toxin to cause illness in a human.
Pickled eggs may be served as part of a main course, hors d'Å“uvres, or garnishes.[

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE774 - . To The saloon copper plate engraving, outside the historic Black Friar pub , Blackfriars London England UK. Photographed on 10 August 2013. The recorded location is Black Friar Public House, 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4EG UK. The Black Friar is one of London's most distinctive historic pubs, occupying a triangular site near Blackfriars station. The present building was remodelled around 1905 in an elaborate Arts and Crafts style, with decorative mosaics, sculpture, copperwork and inscriptions that play on the medieval Black Friars associated with the area. Small engraved details such as saloon signs and measurements form part of a remarkably complete decorative scheme. As background, public houses form a distinctive part of British social history, combining licensed drinking, hospitality and community life
Older pubs can reveal changing fashions in brewing, tied houses, coaching routes, urban development and leisure, while modern bars show how the licensed trade continues to adapt. The historical context is that older buildings and artefacts provide tangible evidence that written records cannot fully replace
Their wear, construction, signage and setting help researchers understand local history, design, industry and social life across different periods. In historical terms, architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history. Against the 2026 backdrop, pub survival is a live issue, with government support including a 15% business-rates relief for eligible pubs and live-music venues in England during 2026/27, alongside wider debate about closures, property costs and the value of pubs as community assets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6NP - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Caröe and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0GDD5 - Grappenhall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Gropenhale and with a valuation of five shillings.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs “ the Parr Arms and the Ram's Head “ and Grappenhall Hall Residential School (no longer a Residential School) and St. Wilfrid's Primary School. Bradshaw Community Primary School is located north of the village centre.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. The village name appears in the title of the song Grappenhall Rag, by the Darwen singer-songwriter Bryn Haworth.
Grappenhall is home to the 25th Warrington East (St. Wilfrid's) Scout Troop. There is also a cricket ground, which is the home of Grappenhall Cricket Club.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBN0G - . Lass O Gowrie pub, 36 Charles St, Manchester, North West England, UK, M1 7DB. Photographed on 9 August 2016. The Lass O' Gowrie in Manchester, was named after the poem by Carolina Nairne. As background, public houses form a distinctive part of British social history, combining licensed drinking, hospitality and community life
Older pubs can reveal changing fashions in brewing, tied houses, coaching routes, urban development and leisure, while modern bars show how the licensed trade continues to adapt. As background, large American cars of the 1950s became symbols of post-war consumer confidence, with chrome, sweeping bodywork and generous proportions reflecting a very different design philosophy from contemporary European cars
Imported examples later became collectors' vehicles, prized for styling as much as transport. In the longer view, historic objects and places gain meaning through survival
Materials, craftsmanship, inscriptions and later alterations can reveal how a property, machine or everyday item was made, used and valued, while preservation decisions show which parts of the past communities choose to retain. Against the 2026 backdrop, pub survival is a live issue, with government support including a 15% business-rates relief for eligible pubs and live-music venues in England during 2026/27, alongside wider debate about closures, property costs and the value of pubs as community assets. Against the 2026 backdrop, classic cars occupy a niche between transport history and leisure culture, with enthusiasts balancing preservation and originality against fuel costs, emissions concerns and access to parts
Historic vehicles remain popular at shows and heritage events despite the wider transition towards electric motoring. As of 2026, heritage continues to be economically and culturally significant through tourism, education and place-making, while the cost of maintaining historic fabric creates continuing debate about conservation and reuse.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBN2J - Peveril of the Peak, one of Manchester's best-known historic pubs, photographed with its distinctive green and yellow glazed-tile frontage, decorative doorway, hanging baskets and traditional upper-storey windows. Standing on Great Bridgewater Street in the city centre, the pub is a well-loved local institution and a strong visual example of surviving Victorian pub architecture in north west England. The name is widely said to derive either from the old stagecoach route from Luton over the Peak District or from Sir Walter Scott's 1823 novel Peveril of the Peak, his longest novel.
The image has clear editorial relevance in the context of Andy Burnham's July 2026 announcement of a 20 percent cut in business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues. For traditional and historic pubs such as this, any reduction in fixed property-based overheads can help ease financial pressure, improve short-term cash flow and free up money for wages, energy bills, repairs, routine maintenance and investment in the building itself. In heritage pubs, that may also support the upkeep of period tiling, woodwork, glazing and other original features that are costly to preserve.
In north west England, where many town and city pubs remain important social, cultural and community assets, such relief could help reduce the risk of closure for some venues operating on tight margins. It may be especially valuable where pubs also depend on evening trade, tourism, music, events and passing city-centre footfall. However, rates relief alone will not solve every problem facing the sector. Rising staffing costs, utilities, insurance, supply costs, changing drinking habits and wider economic pressures still threaten the viability of many traditional pubs.
Photograph therefore works well as an editorial illustration for stories about hospitality support, business-rates reform, pub closures, heritage preservation, nightlife, community venues and the wider struggle to sustain Britain's historic pubs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNFR - . This location-specific image from Princess Street, Manchester, Lancs, England, UK in 2016 provides a visual record of the subject in everyday context, useful for both contemporary editorial work and later historical comparison. At the centre of the view is Welcome to Manchester's Gay Village sign, Canal St - locations for Tip Toe and Queer As Folk TV shows. Other connected aspects include inland navigation, waterborne transport, blue-green corridor, contemporary social history, visual archive, place identity, social history, documentary photography, canal infrastructure, community identity, towpath landscape, period detail, changing streetscape, and regional identity. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with maintenance funding, flood resilience and the transition of industrial waterways toward leisure and heritage use. The archival value lies partly in recording signage and branding around Princess Street, Manchester, Lancs, England, UK before later reinterpretation alters the character of the place. The location also brings in industrial waterway history, archival record, changing land use, heritage boating, working waterway, local character, navigation engineering, and managed navigation. Elements such as locations, Queer, Welcome, shows, and Canal add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The period setting at Princess Street, Manchester, Lancs, England, UK helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. The scene further reflects maintenance funding and the role of canals as blue-green corridors for people and wildlife in a form that can be compared with future views of Princess Street, Manchester, Lancs, England, UK. It also preserves a trace of local identity before later change alters the scene. The photograph keeps a local visual benchmark as a date-specific reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBPC5 - This apparently ancient pub on Fountain Street is not as old as it looks, at least not all of it. The building was created in 1923 by W. Johnson and Sons and much of it is mock timber framing. However, some of the carvings and other ornamentations came from a building that was demolished in Chester and are probably 17th Century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KEX - . The Lord Rodney pub, Winwick Rd, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK WA2 7DH - an ex-festival ale house. Photographed on 16 July 2015. The recorded location is 67 Winwick Rd, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK WA2 7DH. It used to be the Tetley Brewery Tap, From a real ale haven to a grubby, keg, dingy hole. In historical terms, public houses form a distinctive part of British social history, combining licensed drinking, hospitality and community life
Older pubs can reveal changing fashions in brewing, tied houses, coaching routes, urban development and leisure, while modern bars show how the licensed trade continues to adapt. As background, the modern real-ale movement helped preserve traditional cask-conditioned beer and encouraged a new generation of independent breweries
Pump clips and branded labels became an significant part of how drinkers identify constantly changing beers at the bar. The historical context is that architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history. During 2026, pub survival is a live issue, with government support including a 15% business-rates relief for eligible pubs and live-music venues in England during 2026/27, alongside wider debate about closures, property costs and the value of pubs as community assets. Against the 2026 backdrop, beer culture combines traditional cask ale with craft brewing, cans, keg products and lower-alcohol choices
Photographs of older handpumps and brewery equipment help trace that evolution. For the 2026 context, beer culture combines traditional cask ale with craft brewing, cans, keg products and lower-alcohol choices
Photographs of older handpumps and brewery equipment help trace that evolution.

She does a really comprehensive breakfast selection including my favourite black (blood) pudding. The \u00a33.30 belly buster (thats barely 3 Euros 60, what are you waiting for, get over to Roman Northwich, in that damn chunnel, swap those croisants and churros for some proper breakfast!!!). A large batch filled with two bacon, one sausage, egg, tomatoes, mushroom, black pudding and cheese. Theres also version for the Atkins (low carb) generation and our vegetarian bretheren.
You can choose your own bread (thankfully not the identikit bread at the Subway franchise further into town), but your choice from a whole raft of types. Fillings cover all tastes from plain turkey salad to Feta &
Pesto, Brie and Cranberry, roasted vegatables, smoked and cream cheese.
When drooling at the menu I realised there was only one ingredient missing, chilli pepper. If you are craving it they do a mean baked potato with chilli. What are you waiting for, if you are within a 3 mile radius of the shop in Condate, get your 'belly buster' ordered - 01606-42777 / 07770-452708

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4404975390 - 'The Star Inn is an interesting country pub a few miles from the town of Wantage in Oxfordshire, England. The pub is quite cosy and at the end of a narrow lane.
It is quite close to Oxfordshire's white horse at Ridgeway / Uffington Castle, An iron age hill fort covering over 30,000 sq metres, which was still in use in the Roman era. The nearby Wiltshire Three Castles Brewery make an excellent nutty 4.2% bitter called Uffington Castle and this was on at the Star and Mike is holding its pump here with his left hand.
Dawn and Mike have recently moved in and not yet seen spring or summer in the village. Theres a mixture of homecooked food and locals can pre-order and pop in with a plate to take it away if they want. Guest ales change every month from the local Hook Norton brewery and they had a well kept London Pride on there too. Note they have the Aspall traditional cider in stock too.
This shot is sepia toned and selectively coloured.

decorators, you name it you will see them in there.
If you ever make it there, check out the old photo of Suki in full kilt near the entrance hall.
